rossafur Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I know parts of Skyrim were definitely inspired by Yellowstone, but has anyone given much thought to recreating Yellowstone in Skyrim with GIS data maps? I mean, it's only... well, 3,472 square miles or 8,987 square km or 2,221,766 acres... lol. I'd primarily be interested in it as a virtual tourism aspect, and running the SkyTest mod to observe animal interactions and such. Unfortunately I myself don't know much about how you convert those maps into the game, but I've seen that people have done it for other parts of the world. I suppose you could just pick interesting chunks, convert them, and then fill them in, which might be a bit more maneagable, system-wise and time-wise, ha.

14manj01 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Eh, I feel that with the current rate of fixing scenery, adding, modifying taking forever this mod would be a long investment. If I wasn't busy with my own high rock mod I'd think about it. I may get around to doing something like this after my mod is done.

rossafur Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 True true. One can dream... Haha. Maybe someday I'll even get sufficiently motivated to try and figure out how to even recreate a small bit of it. An engine like the Arma 3/Day Z SA would probably be able to do it better, but of course they don't have the whole framework for a variety of creatures already like Skyrim does.
